New in Town... South Vancouver

I'm new to BC and western Canada.... Just in from Toronto, used to play USTA juniors and NCAA Div. I a very long time ago NTRP 5.5 but lack of play in the past 10 years has me down around 5.0... anyone for tennis? Need advice on clubs, courts, and people who want to hit.

I'll be visiting Vancouver from Jan. 25 to 30 and was wondering if you'd be interested in playing some singles during my stay. I'm a solid 4.5 tournament player. Contact me at garydendo@hotmail.com (Anyone else interested?)

Hi Gary. Sounds good however, I should let you know that I just arrived here. I don't have a club, I hardly know where any courts are, I currently have only 1 racquet with strings soon to go, and I haven't played in some time... at worst I might be a little inconsistent. I can checkout some public courts, but I'm still in the process of "shopping" for a club.

Let's get together and get some games. I knows a couple of clubs. Burnaby is the best, since it's the cheapest but the tennis bubble indoor was down due to snow for some time. UBC indoor is quite good but a little bit on the expensive side. Grant Connel indoor is hard to get a spot and a bit expensive but it's good also. I'll try to contact you guys to get some games pretty soon. Oh Btw, I used to be good (play at UBC single league before, but never can compete with the young guys he.he.he.) and now would like to get back again after watching Australian Open.

Hi Ari and Bert... feel free to contact me at edwinperez9@gmail.com... I could use some info on the local scene... thanks Edwin

Although I'm not familiar with the place that Ari suggested, I live in Burnaby, I think those courts are not too far away from me. Please suggest a time for that. In the mean while, I think I'm available in any time of the coming weekdays.

Do drop me a note at bert.dao@gmail.com once the time and court is being suggested.

Thanks a lot!

Cheers,
Bert
